represents a major paradigm shift for Microsoft and the Windows ecosystem in general as we modernize the platform by introducing “as a service” capabilities. Hundreds of millions of devices are already running Windows 10 today. Businesses are beginning to evaluate the new capabilities of Windows 10, including Windows as a service, as part of their deployment plans. With Windows 7 recently transitioning into extended support, businesses need to begin planning for the future of their Windows operating system environment. Although there are many aspects to consider in managing a Windows device, one of the essential early stages of the lifecycle is deployment. More than 70 percent of businesses use System Center Configuration Manager for PC management, and that market share continues to grow every quarter. Configuration Manager is an industry leader, and the Operating System Deployment (OSD) feature is one of the most popular and frequently used. The product supports many traditional operating system deployment methods as well as support for viii of 219 Foreword newer Windows 10 deployment scenarios such as in-place upgrade.

  • Understanding Windows 10 – a Guide to Help Get You Started Settings
    Understanding Windows 10 – A Guide to Help Get you Started By Jim Hillier – July 14, 2015 https://davescomputertips.com/understanding-windows-10-a-guide-to-help-get-you-started/ Following an initial perusal of Windows 10 it appeared that Microsoft included a lot of changes merely for the sake of change, presumably to help expand the gap between Windows 8 and Windows 10. However, after spending more time working with the new operating system you will realize that statement is incorrect, and here’s why. Settings – The Windows 10 Nerve Center At the very heart of Windows 10 is the ―Settings‖ menu which provides the interface for managing how the operating system displays and behaves. Consequently, a number of previously easily accessible settings/options have been moved into the Settings menus for the sake of centralization. While this may well now force users to dig a little deeper in order to locate a particular setting, I can appreciate the logic behind it, everything in one place, and no fragmentation. Finding “Screen Resolution in Windows 10 For example: Accessing ―Screen Resolution‖ settings has long been a simple matter of selecting the option from the desktop right click menu. Now, in Windows 10, one needs to take a rather more convoluted path: 1. Click Start and then Settings 2. Click System, then click Display(the Display tab should open by default) 3. Click ―Advanced display settings‖ There it is! Adding Desktop Shortcuts to System Locations in Windows 10 This is another setting location that has changed and integrated into the all, encompassing Settings menu.

The utility required in this case is the Deployment Image Service Image and Management tool, or “DISM”. The predecessor to DISM, the ImageX tool, has been deprecated since Windows 8 and cannot be used to manage image files for the DX8200D family of appliances. DISM is distributed by Microsoft as part of the Windows Assessment and Deployment Toolkit and is also available within the Windows Recovery Environment (‘WinRE’). The DISM utility allows the deployment image file to be mounted to a folder path on a Windows host, whereupon its content may be modified directly as with any other NTFS file system (i.e.

  • Organizing Windows Desktop/Workspace
    Organizing Windows Desktop/Workspace Instructions Below are the different places in Windows that you may want to customize. On your lab computer, go ahead and set up the environment in different ways to see how you’d like to customize your work computer. Start Menu and Taskbar ● Size: Click on the Start Icon (bottom left). As you move your mouse to the edges of the Start Menu window, your mouse icon will change to the resize icons . Click and drag the mouse to the desired Start Menu size. ● Open Start Menu, and “Pin” apps to the Start Menu/Taskbar by finding them in the list, right-clicking the app, and select “Pin to Start” or “More-> “Pin to Taskbar” OR click and drag the icon to the Tiles section. ● Drop “Tiles” on top of each other to create folders of apps. ● Right-click on Tiles (for example the Weather Tile), and you can resize the Tile (maybe for apps you use more often), and also Turn On live tiles to get updates automatically in the Tile (not for all Tiles) ● Right-click applications in the Taskbar to view “jump lists” for certain applications, which can show recently used documents, visited websites, or other application options. ● If you prefer using the keyboard for opening apps, you probably won’t need to customize the start menu. Simply hit the Windows Key and start typing the name of the application to open, then hit enter when it is highlighted. As the same searches happen, the most used apps will show up as the first selection.
